Maybe I should start bringing my good camera with me again.

Pfft, nope. The little arrow that curves back down and around gave it away. Hamilton-bound QEW at Dorval Drive. There's no other sign on the QEW like that.

I went outside earlier and noticed it was gone, or at least wasn't across the highway anymore. It's probably all that construction that has him so out in the open.

Hey, it's not my fault that the Dorval Drive gantry had a unique diagrammatic design that gave it away even when blurry :D

How can you guys get anything from a blurred sign?

I've driven that stretch of the QEW enough to memorize exactly where and what that sign is for. The left arrow shows three lanes for QEW traffic, the arrow deviating to the right shows two lanes for Dorval Drive, and the small little arrow looping back is for Kerr Street.

And yeah, the sign is gone. They're adding an HOV lane in through there and everything is being replaced.

Awesome shots....What make/model camera do you have?

First three are with canon digital rebel xti, the last shot is with my kodak point and shoot. (didn't have the other camera that day). There is a bit of noise in the dslr pics as it was really dark and shady outside and I had to crank the ISO.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20486575 Thu, 15 May 2008 10:59:26 EDT Re: Mr Hawk http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20484503 Clipper : Speaking of birds of prey...

There is a single Bald Eagle family nesting near Hamilton. My boss has been there and told me they look amazing. A female sitting in a nest, and the male always near by.

Apparently, it's the first nesting in this area in almost 60 years. DDT wiped them out around here as well.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20484503 Wed, 14 May 2008 22:46:09 EDT Re: Mr Hawk http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20484494 vue666 : Awesome shots....What make/model camera do you have?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20484494 Wed, 14 May 2008 22:44:28 EDT Re: Mr Hawk http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20484316 Devanchya : Peregrine Falcons have made an amazing recover over the last 10 years. When DDT was banned, the Peregrine was one of the main reasons, as it almost killed off the species.

Being a bird that likes to nest high up on cliffs or large trees, the city sky scrappers are an ideal habitat. In fact, smaller birds such as Sky Rats (pigeons) are an ideal food.

I will admit, their claws will destroy your paint job... there are companies that will help you scare them off if needed.

Most likely it's around due to the season and hopefully will move off in a few days.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20484316 Wed, 14 May 2008 22:14:14 EDT Re: Mr Hawk http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20484285 kim : wow I've never seen one do that before. Cheeky bugger! I think we're seeing so many now because of the insane construction in our areas lately.

Isn't it a bit unusual to see them like this though?

Also, is it me or are there more of these birds around lately?
I've lived in pretty much the same area for the last 21 years (Erin Mills) & I've only really seen them in the last 7 or 8 years.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20484207 Wed, 14 May 2008 21:58:48 EDT Re: Mr Hawk http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20484193 Kardinal :

Haha, spray some water at it, that'll teach it.

Spray some water at a bird with a 5-6 foot wingspan and talons. Ummm...pass, but I'd like to see some video of you doing it. ;)

On a related note: I was walking to work last week when I heard one of the peregrine falcons that nest at the top of a hotel a couple of blocks from my place. It took a minute to find it, but it was perched on the top corner of an office tower. Their shriek makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end but it also makes the pigeons scarce.
